Read the following passages and choose the best answer for each of the following questions. 请选择题型 Vocabulary Grammar Dialogue Reading Passage 1
\"Fingers were made before forks\" when a person gives up good manners, puts aside knife and fork, and dives into his food, someone is likely to repeat that saying.
The fork was an ancient agricultural tool, but for centuries no one thought of eating with it. Not until the eleventh century, when a young lady from Constantinople（君士坦丁堡） brought her fork to Italy, did the custom reach Europe.
By the fifteenth century the use of the fork was widespread in Italy. The English explanation was that Italians were averse（反对的）to eating food touched with fingers, \"Seeing all men's fingers are not alike clean.\" English travelers kept their friends in stitches while describing this ridiculous Italian custom.
Anyone who used a fork to eat with was laughed at in England for the next hundred years. Men who used forks were thought to be sissies, and women who used them were called show-offs and overnice. Not until the late 1600's did using a fork become common custom.
1． The custom of eating with a fork was . A.brought to Europe from America B.begun when forks were invented C.brought to Europe from Asia D.invented by Italians
答案：C
Constantinople（君士坦丁堡）即现在的伊斯坦布尔，横跨亚欧两大洲。所以选项中只有C项合适。

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4．The English thought that Italians used forks in order to . A.imitate the people of the East
B.keep their food clean
C.impress visitors with their good manners D.amuse the English
答案：B
短文第三自然段中提到，The English explanation was that Italians were averse（反对的）to eating food touched with fingers, \"Seeing all men's fingers are not alike clean.\"这句话相当于The English thought the Italians didn't like food touched with dirty hands, because some people's hands were not as clean as others. 原文
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5．In England, people who used forks at that time were considered . A.well mannered B.sissies
C.show-offs and overnice D.both B and C
答案：D
参见最后一自然段：Men who used forks were thought to be sissies, and women who used them were called show-offs and overnice. Sissy, 柔弱或怯懦的人；太女人气的人。Show off, 炫耀，夸耀。Show-off 作名词，指炫耀的行为或爱炫耀自己的人。 Passage 2
Last night after dinner I told my family the bad news. I had this class assignment to monitor （监控）our use of energy at home for a week. Our family got an F.
Tuesday night my brother watched the same two hour movie on his TV set that we were watching in the living room. Thursday Mom ran an entire dishwashing cycle for 3 cups, 2 plates, a knife and 3 little spoons. That's a lot of electricity and hot water down the drain（下水道）. Dad drives 28 miles back and forth to work alone. Two men he works with live right nearby, and they could carpool (合伙使用汽车) and save about a thousand gallons of gas a year. And me, I'm guilty too. I went out and left the radio blaring（喇叭大声地响）in my room all Saturday morning.
So last night at the dinner table we all agreed to do everything we could to conserve（节约） energy. Faster showers. Lower thermostats (温度调节器). Fuller care. It is a fact that this country's using up energy faster than we produce it. I read that we may run out of oil－forever－in thirty years. So terrible！Unless every person in every house on every block does his part, the future looks pretty dim.
I'm getting more and more concerned about the future. Because that's where I'm going to be.

C.How to Save Energy? D.The Future is Dim.
答案：B
What a Waste! 感染力更强，更能抓住读者的兴趣，也符合短文内容。 Passage 3
One of the greatest problems for those settlers （定居者） in Nebraska in the last quarter of the previous century was fuel. Little of the state was forested when the first settlers arrived and it is probable that by 1880, only about one-third of the originally forested area remained, down to a mere 1 percent of the state's 77,000 square miles. With wood and coal out of the question, and with fuel needed year-round for cooking, and during the harsh winter months for heating, some solution had to be found.
Somewhat improbably, the buffalo（水牛） provided the answer. Buffalo chips (干粪块) were found to burn evenly, hotly, and cleanly, with little smoke and interestingly, no odor. Soon, collecting them became a way of life for the settlers' children who would pick them up on their way to and from school, or take part in competitions designed to counteract（抵消；减少）their natural reluctance. Even a young man, seeking to impress the girl he wanted to marry, would arrive with a large bag of chips rather than with a box of candy or a bunch of flowers.
1． What is the main topic of this passage?
A.The solution to the Nebraska settlers' fuel problem. B.Life in Nebraska in the late nineteenth century. C.The importance of the American buffalo.

答案：B
短文里并没有提到孩子们是否喜欢去拣这些粪块。
3． The passage implies that buffalo chips were needed . A.in greater amounts in summer B.in greater amounts in winter C.only in summer D.only in winter
答案：B
从短文中的句子 with fuel needed year-round for cooking, and during the harsh winter months for heating, some solution had to be found.可以看出，冬季用燃料要多一些。
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4．Which of the following does the author not express surprise at?
A.Those settlers in Nebraska in the 19th century was shortage（缺乏）of fuel. B.The buffalo chips gave off no smell
C.Buffalo chips were the answer to the settlers' fuel problem D.Young men took bags of buffalo chips to their girl friends
答案：A
其他几项的内容都跟粪块有关，作者都会流露出一些惊奇的口气。
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5．What's the best title of the passage? A.Early Settlers
B.One Use of the Buffalo Chips C.Nebraska's Problems
D.How Young Men Express Their Love for Girls
答案：B
B项比较贴切，因为短文内容都是围绕 Buffalo Chips 作为燃料方面的。
